Fitch currently rates Structured Finance transactions across four main asset classes: Asset Backed Securities, Residential Mortgage Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities and Structured Credit. The European RMBS team is responsible for providing ratings for all securities backed by residential mortgage loans. In addition, the RMBS team is actively involved in publishing top research in relation to both RMBS performance as well as mortgage market fundamentals. The team places a high priority on the quality of its analysis, transparency of its research and its responsiveness to market participants.
Based in London, you will focus on rating new European RMBS. This includes, collecting and analysing portfolio data, the review of legal documentation and analysis of the transaction structure as well as communication with counterparties. You will be expected to write credit analysis reports and press releases on rated structured finance transactions as well as research reports on industry related topics. In addition, you will participate in criteria developments across products and regions.
Within this position you will conduct an in-depth quantitative credit risk analysis of the portfolio assets. Additionally you will consider the individual transaction waterfall, as well as interest rate and/or currency mismatches between the portfolio assets and the structured finance bonds as part of cash flow modelling the transaction structure. You will conduct qualitative assessments of the operational risks based on on-site reviews at the issuers. Furthermore, you will review all relevant laws and regulations, legal opinions and relevant documentation. |
